BUKIT BERUNTUNG GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

We booked this course on Monday due to heavy booking and limited number of buggies available at the club. Before the game, scheduled for 0800hrs. tee-off we usually have our breakfast at nearby Mamak Restaurant Salam1 which is 5 minutes away from the club. Myself, Mokhtar, Munir, Vijay and Kheiruddin have the usual half-cooked eggs with roti canai for breakfast while Yusuf and the other two guys were already at the club.
Mokhtar, Vijay, Kheiruddin, Munir, Yusuf, Zahrin, Shukor, me..




AGSSG members paid RM52 each plus compulsory caddy at RM43 meaning additional RM11 each and guests paid RM102 plus shared caddy fee. We teed off at about 0900hrs at the East Course or popularly known as the championship course.

Hole 1 is a Par 5 measuring 466 meter from blue tee and can easily be reached in 3 shots but nobody made par. Hole 2 is a Par 3 172 meters, myself and Mokhtar made par, he used 5 wood and I used 3 wood. Hole 3 is a short Par 4 measuring 283 meters and I made par. The 4th hole Par 3 was well taken, everybody had par putt between 12 feet to 5 feet but all missed! Hole 5 is also a short Par 4 at 311 meter but nobody made par, Mokhtar ended up with 8 after his tee-shot went astray! Two of my flight mates made par on the Par 5 6th hole and I made double par on the next hole when my lay-up dropped into the water! I made par on the next hole a short Par 4 at 328 meters and made double bogey on the last hole, a index 1 par 4.

At the back nine Zahrin made 2 birdies and and 4 pars and 3 bogeys, like a touring pro scorecard scoring 37! I got 3 pars, 4 bogeys and 2 double bogeys for a 44! Munir showed his scorecard during tea-time at the club and he scored 37+43 for a 80 gross! his form must have came back to score this good!

Happy golfing...

BERJAYA HILLS GOLF CLUB

Berjaya Hills Golf Club has done well to maintain the fairways and greens to a pleasurable playing condition and this were the opinions of Mr Toh (16), Samsudin (18), Bangdolah (18) and Nordin Bren (24) when they played the course last week.

Played from the 10th Tee as there were a few beginners flight waiting in queue at the 1st Tee box, it was indeed a test of character for the hilly undulating fairways, it was too much for us and 45 was the best score. I have played this course many times and local knowledge proved to be crucial and played 46 and 48 for a respectable 94 score, Mr. Toh and Samsudin played 95 and Nordin Bren surrendered to a 115 gross and many lost balls too!

Guests staying at Colmar paid RM88 where as AGSSG members has to make prior booking for discounted rate of RM 98 per person and require booking through AGSSG 3 working days in advance!
 Samsudin asked for stroke from Mr Toh and got 2 and he got 7 pars to Mr Toh's 3 pars...finally Samsudin won only 1 ball because he lost the last hole! Nordin Bren lost in all 3 sectors in the sixes game and suffered 11 lost holes so he paid tips to the lovely caddy...

Looking forward to my next game at Tasik Puteri on Sunday!
